Doesn't matter to me Wicked - I hardly have time to check into either place! Things should be slowing down but in the summer it feels like there is always something coming up.
I've been doing terrible, eating anything and everything. But I was hungry just now and had an orange, and then an apple, it's progress!

Hi everyone!
Can you add my next goal for me? It's 165. I hope to be there by August 1st. Now that I'm done CMA there is no excuse not to focus on eating better and moving my body!
LadyK - When I went to the naturopath I followed her suggestions and dropped 14lbs pretty quickly and easily, I also got pregnant that cycle after a year of trying. I felt fantastic.
Wicked - How is your week going?
I made another huge batch of Quinoa salad last night - it's the perfect, healthy lunch.

I'm sorry FF
I only post on one thread here regularly (CF) and three threads on Buzzle. I just really don't have time for either with CMA.
It is sad to lose touch with people though, I know how that feels. I'm happy we have our little FB group
All that being said I miss this place and plan to post more when I'm done CMA, I don't have hard feelings either way, it's more about traffic for me.

Hey Ladies!
I'm in the final stretch of CMA, we had our final rehearsal and meeting tonight, our big board presentation is Thursday and then I am dooonnnneeee! Thank god!
Needless to say I have not had much time for exercise. On the plus side next week I will have a lot more time, and it seems DD is starting to get more of a routine so I should be able to start doing 30 day shred during her first morning nap.
Food is going okay except I hosted a get together on Friday so I have sweet leftovers. The food I made was good though, fresh flatbread pizzas with just a little fresh mozzarella and quinoa salad. I'll be eating the salad all week and I love it so much I might continue to make it weekly for easy, healthy lunches.
Great work so far everyone! I hope I can still meet my goal this week.

Buy reusable ones, seriously, you probably just need better ones. I swear by Bamboobies, my nipples stuck to the other kinds as well. I'm almost 3 months PP and mine still leak during every feed. Some people stop leaking, some leak for the duration of BFing.

Happy Sunday Ladies!
I indulged at Lobsterfest at a local restaurant last night back on track today. I also didn't go for a run all week
its pouring rain but I hope I can get out tomorrow. Only 10 more days until my final CMA presentation and then I'll have a lot more time.
I'm also starting the 30 day shred tomorrow as long as Addie cooperates. It could be interesting.
Tiny - woohoo to getting some jeans on, must feedl great. I should pull out some of my smaller pairs and see how they fit.
Wicked - I went shopping yesterday too, but just bought a suit for my presentation, sucks because it cost money but isn't very fun.

Welcome LadyK! I'm sure you've done it before but carb/sugar withdrawal lasted about 3 days for me with day 2 being the worst. I haven't dne it yet this time but I went 6 weeks without ANY sugar added and only 1 serving of fruit a day for 8 weeks before my BFP and I felt fantastic, I never went back t the same level of consumption, things taste so sweet to me now!
Wicked - ugh I hate days like that. I'm not only an emotional eater but an emotional spender too! When I'm having a bad day I eat a ton and online shop, double whammy! I hope you feel better after your swim.
I'm at Starbucks and just ate a muffin because it's raining again and it's the only way to get out of the house! I didn't need the muffin though.

The key to water for me was buying a reusable Starbucks tumbler with a straw. It sounds stupid but I like drinking out of a straw and I easily drink 4-5 venti cups a day now. I keep it with me all the time, carry it from room to room.
I think I might start tracking again next week. We are going to my moms on the weekend but once I get home I think I'm ready to track and eat better. I'm finding more of a routine at home so I think it'll be easier. I'm also almost done my CMA so I'll have much more time soon.
I ran twice last week and was supposed to go last night but DH was gone all day and when he got home it was pouring rain and Addie was a total bear! She yelled for hours. Anyhow I didn't get out but I'll get a run in tonight after my group meeting. It feels so amazing to be out and doing something active. I was walking lots before but running just seems different.
And I was down to 172 today! So I lost over the weekend which is crazy rare.
Well baby is crying! Gotta run!
Hope you all have a healthy day!

C - Yay Congrats on your GIRL! I knew it
So exciting.
I'm over on Buzzle but I only check three sections because I just don't have time (Catwalk, Crafts, New Moms). I also still check Misc here and this thread and I post in a few threads in New Moms here. I'd love if it were still busy here, I honestly just don't have time to post as much as I used to.
I also don't see the crap on Buzzle because I never scan Misc there, I did once and it was all Hot Seat things and I had no interest so I really never went back. They seem to move posts to the appropriate areas so Misc really is just crap I don't care about
But I'd love to still chat with you ladies, even if it's via PM thread. I feel like I don't know what is going on with any of you!

Ugh rainy day here. I'm all ready for a run so hopefully it stops by the time DH is done work and I can get out for half an hour.
It's noon and I'm still working on half a smoothie. I need to figure out this morning eating thing. I've been on the couch since I woke up, first nursing, then entertaining and now holding a sleeping baby.

Yep delete away if people don't post, I'd rather keep the thread active for accountability.
I had a nice weekend but very busy. The next two days are supposed to rain so I'll probably stick around home and do housework, and cook some meals!
I indulged a little this weekend, my ILs were in town with their 5th wheel so we ate there every night. But I've been feeling really sick lately, my IBS is flaring up since giving birth so I'm going to try cutting back in dairy since tha seems to be the biggest trigger.
Wicked - sounds like you had a wonderful weekend!
I'm going to go charge my GPS right now so I'm ready for my first run this week!

Wicked - try not to worry too much, I weigh myself every day and have for the past 5 years or so. I use an app called true weight that tracks your weight trend rather than actual weight, now I don't worry about a pound or two in either direction because I see how much it fluctuates. Don't get discouraged, you're doing great!
Clav - great work on the restraint. I love ice cream cake too.
Tiny - yeah a life without cookies would just be sad (and impossible!)
Maman - sorry you've been sick, hope you feel better soon.
Mrsmama - hope the bleeding is nothing, good for you for taking it easy.
Afm - I just ate breakfast! It's 11:30pm but I'm counting it since I didn't get out of bed until after 10. I didn't do too bad yesterday but it wasn't great either. This week I should be home more which will make eating easier.

Congrats on the loss Wicked, and don't worry, we can't be strong all the time. I subscribe to the 80% rule of clean eating. So if you have 21 meals and 14 snacks a week approximately 4 meals and 2 snacks a week that are not perfect, it helps me stay focused and not sweat the small stuff.
I had an indulgent bakfast made by DH this morning so my plan for the rest of the day is to eat clean, lots of fruits, veggies and water.
Weekly goals are to eat all my meals and get a good walk in at least 5 times. I see the doc this week so if she clears me for more activity I might start jogging again this week.

Yeah I think if she's coming off naturally that you're emptying one side although it never is truly "empty". My DD only eats on one side and comes off naturally when she's done. I agree with shop.a.holic, that recommendation is based on the old advice to switch sides at time intervals, now we know it is better to finish one side fully and not worry about the time at each breast.

My baby is almost 5 weeks and I have a pretty good supply. So far I have been avoiding pumping because I didn't want to make my supply crazy or create a pumping regime that I had to keep up with. I'm starting to think it would be a good idea to start building a freezer stash. If I get enough I might donate it.
So my question is when did you start building a stash? When did you pump? I'd be willing to pump once a day I think. I only feed on one side at a time so I could maybe start feeding one and pumping the other? I don't want to pump and then not have enough left for the next feed. Her feeds are still unpredictable but we are basically every 3 hours around the clock. Sometimes she wants food every hour and sometimes goes 4.
Help! I'm clueless.
